Where it works

At 21 rows this is a display face; it needs the space and repays it.

About 11.2 columns per character. "Hello" alone runs 56 columns, so keep the text short or it will wrap.

19 - height of a character, not including descenders

20 - max line length (excluding comment lines) + a fudge factor

-1 - default smushmode for this font (like "-m 0" on command line)
